Plans for Darwin, Australia


In the morning I plan on exploring Darwin on foot and in the afternoon go into the wild. I will be taking to the water on the Adelaide River to checkout Crocs and other wildlife. Here is a description: Jumping Crocodile Cruise
Duration Approximately 4 - 5 hours DescriptionTake a cruise on the Adelaide River for a pure Outback experience. Your motor coach leaves the pier and travels through Darwin, heading south on the Arnhem Highway to the vast wetlands near the mouth of the Adelaide River. Keep an eye out for the area's unique wildlife and flora as you travel. Board your riverboat for an approximately 75-minute cruise on the Adelaide River. In its murky waters live the most dangerous reptiles in Northern Australia--huge saltwater jumping crocodiles! Keep your camera at the ready to record the Northern Territory's unspoiled beauty and the river's famous jumping crocodiles, which shoot out of the water in pursuit of their prey. As you cruise the banks of the river, you will gain an understanding of why it took Europeans more than 200 years to settle the region. A stop will be made at the Humpty Doo, a traditional Aussie bush pub, for a cold beer or a refreshing soft drink.
